Did you get made fun of/false rumors in High School ?

[cmb19]

Females of any age are the worst. (I'm a 25 year old female, I'm allowed to say that

) In high school I was the main target to be picked on...I wasn't pretty enough, I was to skinny (obviously the girls that picked on me were bigger), I was and still am very flat chested, quiet so no one thought I would say anything to them. They made up rumors about me being pregnant multiple times, sleeping with dozens of guys, and being a lesbian..um wait how does this all go together? Needless to say, not a single word was true. In college I even had rumors started about me, but this time it was the guys I turned down..and I will admit, apparently in college I was a girl that lots of guys wanted to be with because I turned down alot and they weren't happy about it. Go figure it was a fraternity that was the base of the rumors.

Now, all these girls (including in college) are afraid of me, they will not say anything to my face and are fake-friendly to me. You can never win over everyone, it's just not possible. I was suicidal for awhile in high school because even the girls that were my only friends would talk bad about me. I've learned I don't need or want everyone to like me. I have my fiance, my family and a couple very close friends, and alot of my fiance's friends...he's in the National Guard so I have alot of big, strong soldiers to back me up.

Tell your son these girls are being vicious little brats because they don't know what to do when told no. I would bet their parents give them everything they want, so when they don't get something they resort to being nasty. They'll get whats coming to them eventually. The girls that were mean to me all through high school went to the same college, they thought they were hot stuff in front of the college football team...who then proceeded to moo at the girls for being fat and ugly. It was then they all learned that maybe they should be a little nicer to people. True story I swear, one of the mothers works with my mom and told her that the girls were upset about it and understood how other girls felt when they were evil brats.

He'll be ok, just unhappy for a while then it'll get better.

I never once had a guy make fun of me for being small uptop but I have had women make rude comments about my chest size. Never once have I tried to make a woman feel bad about her shape. Infact, I have done the opposite and tried to compliment other women. But I still get the occasional, "Oh, you are skinny but at least I have boobs." Never once have I told any woman, "Oh you have boobs but at least I am not fat."

I think that all shapes are wonderful in thier own way. We women have all types of beautiful shapes, why can't we just not compete to see who is the best physically or assume that a slightly more attractive woman is a b!!tch or that a slightly less attractive woman is not worth getting to know.

I would give anything to have been smaller chested even so now... if I ever come into extra money I am getrting a reduction

It's actually been mostly girls that pointed out being flat chested more than guys, most of the guys would come up with something random to make me feel better, not that I really care much about that..there's not much I can do to change it. Although, if some woman tells me I'm skinny but she has boobs...well I AM extremely rude when I get in one of my moods and I could easily make her cry and still have a smile on my face. See, I wasn't like that in high school.

I've had a chest since 4th grade, I was made fun of sooo much. I remember begging my gym teacher not to make me run in the relays because all the boys would laugh at me, of course until 8th grade , then they just watched

... I hated gym for the longest time. Then when the boys stopped laughing ... then the girls hated me (not all just some). Oh well ....

. My tendonitis in my shoulders would like for me to have a reduction too. Nobody knows till they have lugged some heifers on their chest more of their lives than not, I have indentions on my shoulders from the boulder holders

Chixie I can relate girl....Holla

The problem is not the size of your chest. It is the fact that people have decided that there is a perfect form for women to have. That is wrong.

I have small breasts but I can relate to the pain that a woman feels who gets made fun of for having large breasts or for her outrage when people assume that she is less intelligent then she really is. Hopefully, a large breasted woman can relate to the pain that a woman with a flatter chest feels when other girls make fun of her for not being well endowed. Making fun of another person is cruel no matter the cause.​

I would make him stay. I got stuff like this a lot in HS. The best advice i have is do what i did. I found out some of the girls spreading stuff and in front of everyone asked them if they really couldn't come up with anything better. They were shocked. So funny. They craved nasty names on my locker as well. So i also told them they need to find hobbies if they were that bored. Girls are nasty. I know I am one. I would never treat someone that way though. If he just ignores them, they will get bored and stop. His real friends won't believe the rumors they would stand by him. If he reacts to them they will feed on off on it and it will get worse.

HS was a pita. The school I went to had folks who'd known each other since birth. My dad was in the AF and as such we moved around a lot. Due to the type of music I liked, my friend and I got picked on and were called awful names which I'd challenge them on because it made me so mad that they were suggesting that the type of music I liked (metal and rock) was satanic. Lordy. I also wore glasses, had braces and was flat on top. I'd been hit by a car when I was 9 years old and it left scars on my face and left me with a broken nose so my nose was slightly crooked.

When it came time for my high school reunion, I looked totally different. I'd gotten contacts as they were easier to wear than glasses and I liked how I looked in them, I'd had surgery on my jaw to correct the TMJ I'd developed and during that time, it was discovered that the nose that my surgeon after the car accident swore up and down was NOT broken WAS indeed broken and broken bad, hence I had surgery to correct my deviated septum and move the cartilage/bone that was misplaced which left me with a new nose basically. I also developed up top and was no longer flat chested. Late bloomer!!! I was standing beside the girl I was best friends with in high school and she asked the question to a girl I became friends with after we graduated if she'd seen me

I said I'm standing right beside you! LOL

I also heard someone tell someone else that I was indeed me when they asked who I was and had to smile to myself

It was so funny to be voted most changed and overhear another of the girls who wasn't exactly nice to me say in what she'd evidently thought was an under tone that I'd not changed a bit. HAH! I beg to differ!!!! This is why my best friend didn't recognize me????

HS girls can be so mean and evil it's not even funny.

I agree with lots of you here, I'd rather work with guys and for a guy than work for a woman. Any day.

HS can be an awful time, but it can also hold some very special moments too. Achievement, accomplishments, developing who you'll be one day. I'm sorry your son is going thru the crap of life right now. I hope that some of our posts can help him see that it's not just him who's lived through it, that he will make it out alive.....Sometimes the most fun is proving folks wrong.

Um, I didnt do a lot in High School to prevent rumors from going around, but there were a lot of "I heard that you and *insert multiples names here* did this or that or blah blah..." and sometimes I was even threatened by other girls because of rumors. I just stood up to them (SO not my personality, I am so painfully non-confrontational its not even funny) and ignored them, and if someone else asked about I I sadi "no". Yeah ya get sick of it, and yeah it makes life suck for a while, but in the end its just part of growing up... Sorry for your son's drama right now, drama is just yucky!!! If he runs away the kids at school will think the rumors are true.

No way would I even consider allowing a school change. Tell son to man up!!!!

I can not imagine what I would have been told if I would have been crazy enough to approach my mother with an idea like that. It would not have been nice and it dang sure wouldn't have been comforting either.

Now I can tell you if I would have told mom about a problem similar. She would have told me to get my behind to school and do my work.
